I love the way he’s fast , but precise at the same time! Thanks for the tutorial. Super useful!

[@thewoodworkinghusky3284]

I love the spline, not only does it add tons of strength, but using a contrasting wood adds another level of detail, and makes the frame that much more unique and exciting. Great video!

[@sumitbasra]

the fact that your shop is so clean makes it that much more satisfying when the sawdust flies off the table saw

[@ianallan2337]

Great reference video! I recently built a walnut frame with an edge detail that precluded the mitre spline method. After lots of thought I decided to use a 3/4 Forstner bit on the back and a 3/4 PLUG CUTTER to make face grain discs. Epoxy as a filler glue, touch up with a sanding block and fini.

[@wholenoterest]

12:00 My favorite moment of any woodworking video I have ever watched.

[@markpeach74]

Each time you said ‘it’s probably my least favourite method’ I did a little giggle. No idea why, just made me laugh. Great job and useful info as usual.

[@ericdeguilo1181]

Such a pioneer! No other KZbin woodworker turns off the lights to use their table saw 🤣🤣

[@tomt9543]

How have I lived 61 years and never thought of using a biscuit joiner to cut splines? Genius! Pure genius!

[@doddagopi4933]

Extraordinary demo. Too Good. 10/10

[@patrickschardt7724]

I like how you have like 5 different least favorite methods. The sawdust glue trick is fantastic

[@SirFrankoman]

I love method 3. Doesn't require a jig or a table saw with a wide fence... But most importantly, it gives my biscuit joiner a purpose and "justifies" the purchase :) Great video as usual!

You know what would make Spaceship Mode even more awesome? You guys dancing around the shop on roller skates. 😂

[@lcsvlllbs8934]

Your process with all 3 jigs combined is perfect. Really cool! Thanks for posting!

[@MakeSomething]

Thank you Lucas!

[@dsigetich]

Thanks for the frame making video - you inspired me to try it. I built your spline cutting jig for my table saw. Got it almost assembled before I realized that I had to scale it down for my contractor saw. Had to take it apart and cut down some pieces. Now it works just right. Now I can take it apart and glue it, or just skip that step. Now waiting for Amazon to deliver the necessary clamp. Thanks!

Very funny and cool. I love the comment about the Festool being expensive. And how each method was your least favorite . Too funny. You really do some quality work I can tell. I don't know how I only just found your channel? I'm here now, thank you, Jim.

[@WiredWorkshop]

My mind was blown when you got those 2 screws on the first try 😂 I would have left an indent with my Phillips tip in the frame for sure. Awesome video, you and Dan seem to have a bunch of fun in the shop I love watching these.

[@Daymanoahha]

I appreciate your no nonsense style. Becoming one of my favourite wood channels :) thanks for the hot tips!

[@BenTaylor11]

I made the first iteration of the spline jig and have used it several times. The addition of the toggle clamp is sweet and makes me want to add that to mine. I might even remake it since I have a better idea of what I’m doing this time. Great video!

[@dennisdownes9319]

I loved the spaceship mode! DD

[@MrSponar]

You get me with that drop...now i am watching till the end...

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Super helpful David! Thank you!!!

[@scubasteve159753]

A method I learned in a professional frame shop is to use the Festool Domino similar to what you did with the forstner bit. Plunge into the back (after initial assembly), glue in a domino, and then cut it off flush with an oscillating tool. Works really well with frames made from commercially purchased frame moulding since it's all done from the back. In the same shop, we also had a neat framing tool that worked like a typically domino reinforced miter, like you demonstrated in the video, but it cuts both adjoining faces at the same time with a funky router bit, and then you insert a plastic I-beam looking tenon. Pretty neat, but they're not very popular anymore, especially since the Domino hit the market.

[@MakeSomething]

Whoa! I that's pretty cool! I wish I knew about this technique before making the video.

[@KelseyMitchell-gz4oz]

My parents have been professional picture framers for 25 years. They use wood glue and a large staple in the back, and they've never had a joint fail so....that's probably the easiest one that's also super dependable.

[@wmfranz]

spaceship mode is straight gangster!

[@lylecoates9355]

Other than cutting out the circles with the band saw, I just use 1” forsener bit and 1” dowel cut in thin disks.

[@crafts_avenue]

it seems mostly are your least favourite methods! but non the less it was great informative video thank you

[@Racedoc]

Once I saw the Festool I knew you are legit :)

[@masontejera506]

Love space ship mode 😂

[@willemkossen]

I made that spline jig a while back and it works great.

[@coldwoodcowboy4525]

I was just thinking about starting a picture frame project. You have impeccable timing! I will be going the hand tool route so if I reinforce it, I’ll likely just make some cuts with my hand saw and use some splines. Easier said than done for a beginner like me, however! Now I’ll have to watch more of your picture frame videos to get some inspiration...and education! haha Thanks for the information and awesome video!

[@mlubecke]

David..... another amazing video. I really love the way you guys create them. Awesome 👏

[@rodpotts2666]

I'm really liking the new video vibe. Very kool !

[@kreparAZ]

[@RedBairnMedia]

I had the same reaction to having the screw started before driving it in. *Chef Kiss* I was just thinking in the build up to this moment "we haven't had the over ratcheting driver sound in ages" as well.

[@NatesToolbox]

Awesome 👏🏻. Would the jog work with larger frames I can’t picture it 🙃

[@robertblanchette1161]

Laughed a lot as you went through your succession of least favorite methods. Oddly enough, my biggest takeaway from this video was sawdust in a jar. I use sawdust to fill in imperfect joints, but I sand as I need it. I never thought to have a supply on hand.

[@carold.7907]

Excellent and to the point!

[@geozodis8679]

Thank you for the video!! My nail gun use headless nails (12-35mm).. is that a problem in this project?

[@jameshague8794]

Great editing.

[@karl_alan]

Why wouldn't you want those runner things on the spline jig all the way down to be somewhat of a backerboard for chipout? Just curious why they needed to be moved up

[@crisvega7588]

I'm guessing go accommodate larger frames

[@timnordman8184]

Because you move the fence depending on the thickness of the frame or number of splines in each corner. Just my guess.

[@reddzombie]

Mostly because you would be cutting through the runners every time you used the jig. Eventually you would have to replace the runners because they’ve been cut too many times, kinda like the push sticks. By keeping the runners above the anticipated blade height, you shouldn’t ever have to repair the jig, in theory.

[@gusvirgant2392]

Hey man you are just fantastic. 1000 thumps up

[@billgordon7583]

Great instructional video. Love the various jigs. No proper hearing or eye protection? I'm surprised you didn't mention a v-nailer. I'm doing 40x60 inch frames for my gallery art, and I couldn't live without it. Owing to the size, and weight of the glass, I also router a 1/4" groove in the backside corners into which I sink angle brackets. And of course, Titebond glue-up . I'd post a couple of pictures, but it doesn't seem you can do that with KZbin comments

[@Grunblau]

Awesome video! Very informative and dense. Thanks, Stay playful!

[@joethompson11]

I use a staple gun, but now you got me thinking!

[@jay_jjacobsen6695]

We are having to manufacture for ourselves a window molding a good 70" x 60" rectangular. The reason being we want the molding to stand away from the wall a good inch or so to accommodate purchased insider windows. Which method would you recommend for something so large?

[@dandavis5832]

Great job Dave! Thanks for the tips

[@michaelhopper9945]

Told you I'd get to your video eventually. I need to make a picture frame soon. I don't have a good table saw (In fact, my son just informed me that my mediocre one is broken--dunno what to do about that yet), or a domino joiner, but I'll manage. Last one I did, I doweled.

@@MakeSomething oh my, I cannot wait!

[@artist7998]

I work in a gallery and what we do is miter to size all the parts. Take the end of a table and a piece of plywood that is square and screw it to the corner of the table so it makes the frame material hang over about 1/2 inch. Get your 4 pieces glued up and place them on the corner with the plywood that will keep it squared and then use some pen nails to hold the frame together. You keep going around until all 4 corners are nailed. Take a wet rag and remove any excess glue that squeezed out and your done. No waiting a day for glue to dry.

[@eduardouresticharre6873]

Thanks for sharing your ideas!!

[@sniperpd9505]

I don't have a workshop or the machinery you have, I only have 2 hammers, screwdeivers, superglue. Is there a corner reinforcement that I can add in some way to an old frame.

This is a great video. I love great videos. Thank you for the lesson, and for the weird. I also love weird. Also also, spaceship mode wins the whole F'n internet. Like for serious. I almost never sit through the quite often visibly forced sponsor-vomit every host tries desperately to tuck into their videos in the least conspicuous way... Almost never... Until someone does something creative, funny, or interesting, and just distracting enough... aaaaannnnndddd you got me. Kudos, I know that's a tough task by itself, let alone the wizardry of your craft and editing. Whatever. I'm wordy. Just showin' the love. Shaddup.

[@Mo-gs9bj]

Hello there! I am trying to fix a large picture frame that cracked its corners when it thudded down the wall behind my bed; I was very happy to locate your talk! I was starting to really enjoy your helpful presentation, until you began to lose me at about the 3-minute mark with the Secret-Man Terminology 😇😄 like 'spline' and 'biscuit joiner'. A lot of women like myself- and of course, a lot of men, too- did not have the advantage of a knowledgeable person to teach us these things. It really slows me down when I have to look up a lot of terms before I can find the relevant information I need. For me, it's all hit or miss (little carpentry joke there), so I would really benefit if you wouldn't mind 'defining your terms' as they say in Philosophy 101, for beginner learners with purple thumbs. Peace!

[@bud7551]

You can also use a hole saw to make your circles. Use a blade that is 1/8" larger than your forstner bit and remove the centering bit. You'll want to use a the drill press and make sure your stock is clamped securely.

You might be the only person on youtube who uses CA glue activator correctly. I see so many people gluing the pieces together and then spraying activator all over the workpieces. None of it ever touches the CA.

I generally use the liquid type and keep the spray tip unscrewed so I can use the spray stem to deposit activator on the joint. Then I knock the bottle over and None of it ever touches the CA.
